Colour-Piston Syringes — 3 to 20 ml, 6 Colours
SKU: XY-CPS | Jeringas de Pistón de Color — 3 a 20 ml, 6 Colores
On an interventional table, heparin, contrast, saline, local anaesthetic and nitroglycerine coexist — five clear liquids in identical syringes. The colour-piston syringe attacks that risk by construction: the colour travels in the piston, visible from any angle and through the barrel, so each drug gets its protocol-assigned colour and the syringe mix-up — a classic reported event in procedural safety — loses its root cause. Five colours across all capacities (white, red, green, blue, yellow) plus violet in 20 ml. Capacities of 3, 6, 10 and 20 ml with standard Luer connection. The colour-to-drug mapping is each institution's to define; what the product supplies is that the code physically exists on the table without adhesive labels that peel off wet. Quoted as a colour × capacity assortment — because that is how it is used.

Frequently Asked Questions — Colour-Piston Syringes — 3 to 20 ml, 6 Colours
Who defines which colour maps to which drug?
The institution, by internal protocol. The product imposes no standard: it supplies the physical vehicle — six colours consistent batch to batch — so the protocol exists on the table without adhesive labels that peel off wet. The usual pattern: one colour per recurrent drug, white for saline.
Why colour in the piston and not the barrel?
Because the barrel must stay clear to read volume and bubbles. The coloured piston is visible from any angle — even lying flat on the drape — without sacrificing content visibility.
How is the assortment ordered?
By colour × capacity matrix. A unit defines its code (e.g. red 10 ml = heparin, green 20 ml = contrast) and orders in its real consumption ratio. The MOQ applies to the order total, not to each colour.
Are they useful outside the cath lab?
Yes: any sterile table with several clear drugs at once — regional anaesthesia, endoscopy, theatre — runs the same principle. The page lives in the interventional category because the catalogue originates it there, but the reference is transversal.

Full Description — Colour-Piston Syringes — 3 to 20 ml, 6 Colours
The root cause, removed
Five clear liquids, identical syringes — the mix-up is a matter of time. Assign a colour per drug and the error loses its mechanism. The piston carries the colour so the barrel stays readable.
Why not labels
Adhesive labels peel when wet and demand someone writes them mid-procedure. Moulded colour is there before the table is set and cannot fall off.
Ordering as a code
Each institution defines its mapping (red 10 ml = heparin, green 20 ml = contrast is a common pattern) and orders the assortment in real consumption ratio. MOQ applies to the order total, not per colour.
What to confirm before ordering
- Colour × capacity assortment in your protocol's ratio - Whether other departments (regional anaesthesia, endoscopy) join the order
